Twist out of the ordinary and experience yoga beyond the mat. This 8-day Yoga with a Twist retreat in the Azores blends intentional yoga practices with adventure, exploration, and the raw beauty of island life.

Mornings begin with sunrise meditation followed by an energizing yoga flow to awaken your senses and gently ease you into the day. These practices are paired with outdoor adventures and guided hikes through lush landscapes, coastal trails, and volcanic terrain. Along the way, there is space to pause, breathe, and soak in the beauty of the island. Evenings invite you to slow down with gentle yoga, sunset moments, or a deeply relaxing floating sound bath, allowing the body and mind to fully unwind.

This retreat is an invitation to step out of the ordinary — to move, explore, connect, and return home feeling stronger, calmer, and more alive.

Xhale Azores Team

Hi, I’m Radka, a 200-hour certified yoga instructor, Yin yoga teacher, and health coach with over 12 years of personal yoga practice and more than 4 years of teaching experience. Yoga has been a steady anchor in my life, and I love sharing it with others, in ways that feel intentional, accessible, and inspiring.

My teaching style is rooted in the alignment-based principles of B.K.S. Iyengar, with an emphasis on mindful movement, proper form, and intelligent sequencing. I enjoy creating classes that are both challenging and playful, offering students the space to explore, refine, and find their own unique twist within the practice.

Last year, I had the opportunity to co-host my first yoga retreat in the Azores, and it exceeded every expectation! It was a retreat full of connection, laughter, adventure, and unforgettable moments both on and off the mat. That experience left me deeply inspired, and I’m excited to return to the Azores to offer even more exploration, movement, and joy — with plenty of yoga and relaxetion woven throughout.

Beyond the studio, I love traveling and creating meaningful experiences - whether that means crossing oceans or discovering something new close to home. I cherish time with my family, friends, and my four-legged best friend, Maisy, and I strive to carry the principles of yoga into daily life. For me, yoga isn’t just a practice, it’s a way of showing up in everyday life.
